Daggers Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Don't think it's to do with the "sacked" part, as I can't see how that is defamatory. I would have thought it was more to do with calling Mandaric "ruthless" and the general tone of the article potentailly being damaging to Mandaric's reputation. ...and being called "colourful".

lcfcire Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Maybe its because it says he is from dublin when he's actualy from Wicklow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwell Pablo Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Really? So everything in that article is fact?Well, is it? Don't try and get clever. We're sueing them for Defamatory, which is damage to reputation by printing false information. Theres nothing in there that damages Milan Madarics reputation, besides the use of the word sacked which I have already said is incorrect. EDIT: And you know it was Dave Rennie do you because I've herd different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez of Mahrez Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Wahey! I posted something about the Mirror not being Mandaric's mouthpiece after all yesterday. Can't remember whether it was in relation to this article, think it must have been. 23 years 6 weeks. Finally I'm kind of right about something.

shrood Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 I dont understand?! The mouth-to-mouth bit I understand to be incorrect but that's not defamotary to MM. So the only other thing I can think of is certain words such as 'ruthless' but you can't sue over which adjectives a journalist uses. That's just their opinion of his character, not fabricating anything he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy G Posted 31 August 2007 Share Posted 31 August 2007 Good job the medical team were about because it sounds to me that Kenton & Kisnorbo were trying to 'prop him up', which wouldn't have been any use at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its the overall tone of the article, which is basically saying that Mandaric is a complete b*s&%*d for sacking someone hours after saving someone elses life. The part calling him ruthless could be defined as libelous in the same way that describing someone as dishonest or mad could be - its a slur on his reputation and in this case could damage his chances or LCFC's chances of hiring new managers or players.

Milan has got a lot of fans to win over, this article stirs up hatred against him. If you were Milan would you ignore it? I wouldn't, I'd want to prove to the fans that it's a load of bollucks and that I'm really a really nice bloke, which I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
